Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi PhD

Who the f*** allowed you to remove my reference? My sources are always good. Ayman al-Zawahiri also holds several degrees. Don't edit my stuff again or I'm gonna be unfriendly. --KingOneBozz (talk) 11:16, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

I have left a message about this on your Talk page, giving the reason for my edit and saying how you can dispute this change! --P123ct1 (talk) 11:42, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Harold Puthoff's PhD

  • See [1] and "Dr. Puthoff holds bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Florida and in 1967 was awarded a Ph.D. from Stanford University." [2].

P123cat1 you claimed there's no references but you obviously did not look. Goblin Face (talk) 01:25, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

I most certainly did look, but not in the right places, obviously. --P123cat1 (talk) 15:27, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Explaining

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 13:16, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

A big red outline is an excellent idea. I've only had the notice up for a few days, though; most of the "Why did you do that" messages pre-date it. DS (talk) 13:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gary Olsen, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Gimme Gimme Gimme, Party Party and Prospects (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Help desk question

Just an FYI: When asking a question about a specific article(s) on the Help Desk or other talk sort of page, it's nice to put in a link to the article that you're referring to. That way people don't have to scroll back up to the top of the page where the search box is and go looking for the article(s). They can simply click the link, or right-click and open it in a new tab.

Piers Morgan

Thanks for all your brilliant copyediting on Piers Morgan. Could you please post your talk page comments as separate comments and [[4]] your previous comments/issues you have dealt with? I'm finding it impossible to follow your efforts/issues! Thanks again :) Gareth E Kegg (talk) 22:22, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Italics and other HTML

To answer the question that you removed... To use italics, you surround the text with two single quote marks. You can find other stuff at WP:CHEATSHEET. Dismas|(talk) 08:47, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Nicki Minaj videography

Hi, I am currently in the nomination process of getting Nicki Minaj videography up to featured list status. I was wondering whether you could take a look and possibly leave your thoughts/opposition/support for the nomination and leave any suggestions you may have to improve it. From your user page is also see that you like to copyedit and fix footnotes exc. So if you could possibly take a look at those factors also, it would be a great help. Thanks :) Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Nicki Minaj videography/archive1

copy editing

Hi P123ct1

I note that you have been copy editing our Illuminati article... thanks. Just one word of caution: I note that you have been changing US spellings to UK spellings (example organization --> organisation). In case you didn't know, normal Wikipedia practice is that whoever first writes an article gets to determine whether to use US or UK spelling ... and unless the article has a distinct UK or US focus we shouldn't change it (see WP:ENGVAR).
I don't expect anyone who works on the Illuminati article will really care one way or the other (we have more important things to argue about), but know that people at other articles do care, and they get upset when someone "fixes" US to UK spelling (or UK to US spelling)... so, I suggest that you avoid "fixing" spellings unless there is a good reason (and if so, discuss it on the talk page first). Most importantly, if someone reverts your spelling "fixes", don't edit war over it. Blueboar (talk) 13:40, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

No need to revert yourself (although it looks like I'm too late in saying that)... as I said, I don't think anyone really cares whether the spelling is UK or US in that article (one is as valid as the other since the topic is neither US or UK focused). I really just wanted to ensure that you were aware of common practice, so you didn't piss someone off in some other article.
Your other edits to Illuminati have been excellent. Thanks for improving the article. Blueboar (talk) 21:25, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Ideology and beliefs

Hey! Thanks for the Barnstar. I've got a suggestion for ISIS article:

Sources

By adding "it was reported", a writer is implying that the statement is not verified as a fact. This is fair enough, identifying who reported something in the text of the article makes it easy for the reader to evaluate the trustworthiness of the statement for her or himself without having to refer to the footnotes. I place a different weight on the credibility of The Economist than I do on that of The Kurdistan Times, both of which are used as references in this article. Regards, Ground Zero | t 00:58, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

  • I don't think "governorates" needs to be capitalized. It like "American states" or Canadian provinces" or "English cities". These words are not proper nouns in these contexts. Ground Zero | t 01:17, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Don't get disheartened. The beauty of Wikipedia is that anyone can edit it. The tragedy of Wikipedia is that anyone can edit it. As with any groupsourced project, it becomes more successful as more reasonable people work on it. If it becomes dominated by a few who seek to promote agendas, then people will stop reading it. In this edit, User:Gazkthul seems to have reverted to an earlier version, wiping out the work of you and others. Given how many people will be reading this very topical article these days, it will require and deserve extra vigilance. Regards, Ground Zero | t 02:06, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Hmm, i'm not sure what happened on that edit, I was only trying to change the Ideology & Belief section. No harm intended. Gazkthul (talk) 04:00, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Cooperation

I mentioned you, because I wanted you to back me up against vandalism. Your removing of "even" is right and thanks for that. But some one is deliberately omitting some of the sections. he has warned to deleted the entire "Treatment of civilians". He has reverted "sexual violence" section three times, once against me and two times against other users. He can at most add his findings, not removing all of the as he likes!. I think he should be warned for involving war editing. just look at his reversions and editions. Mhhossein (talk) 10:34, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

While I've had nothing but good interactions on Iraq related articles, I've had major problems trying to get recent research regarding acupuncture theory incorporated in acupuncture, referred itch, and myofascial meridians.
